Bernard Ndong’s Last Word While Quitting Citizen Tv

Sunday, June 26, 2022 –Citizen Tv’s Sports journalist Bernard Ndong has spoken for the final time while biding bye the station he has worked for more than a decade.

In his final remarks on Saturday June 25, the tall and eloquent sports anchor revealed how he had worked for the Royal Media-owned Tv station for a period of 13 years; what he described as ‘a great journey’.

While making his final night sign off live on Tv, Ndong was surprised by a special cake gift which he shared with his colleagues for the last time.

“It has been 13 years. It has been a journey. Thank you so much, I am humbled. 13 years have been a journey and a half. This is Bernard Ndong signing off for the final time,” stated Ndong.

He thanked his colleagues in the sports and general editorial departments among them Waihiga Mwaura and Mike Okinyi – who have also been with Royal Media for many years.

And making a direct call from Naivasha Town where he was covering Safari Rally event, Okinyi hailed Ndong describing him as a team player who is also dependable and quick to learn.

“Bernard, I know this one catches you by surprise. There was lunch by then there is this. It’s been a roller coaster with you on the desk from the first day that you came from sales and we went to the studio with Kirigo Ng’arua do a screen test and you asked, ‘can I join?’ and I said please come. It was three weeks of hard training,” Okinyi reminisced.

He recounted further that when he sent the demo clip to their boss, Farida Karoney(now CS Lands), she immediately accelerated the absorption of Ndong into the sports team at Royal Media Services.
